1. Become A Blood Donor - 25 Sep 2006

   I am barred from giving blood because I have had 2 transfusions (following childbirth and miscarriage)so I recently held a party (to celebrate turning 40) and invited my family and friends to become donors, or if they already gave, to recruit another donor, in place of a gift to me. I was thrilled to find out that I already knew loads of donors, and several folk signed up to donate! ;0) Hubby is same blood type as me, and has given for years and years, so I’m kind of covered.

2. Make A Special Effort To Look Out For Strangers - 19 May 2007

   A fellow freecycler is having some problems and couldn’t get it together to collect a long handled shoe horn for an arthritic relative, so I’m mailing it to her on Monday. Nicky H

3. Switch off and unplug appliances and chargers - 19 May 2007

   I’m now switching off the DAB radio at the socket, and the PC at the socket after shutting down – I came down in the night and noticed a light shining from the back of the tower – presumably an led in the machine – which lights up a little bit of wall but you only would see that in the dark. And my new hands free cable came with an in car charger lead, so I no longer need to charge my cellphone in the house if I plug it in when I am in the car. Our 3-yr old always turns off the TV at the big button so its not on standby when we stop watching it or go out. ;0) Start ‘em early! NH

4. Dry clothes outdoors. - 19 May 2007

   We have a south facing conservatory – even a little sunshime makes it warm and the washing dries quickly in there on airers or quilt covers hanging from the bars across the room on hangers. It looks like a chinese laundry sometimes, but its great!
